[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your child seems unmotivated or immature, think twice before sending them to a state school. It’s easy to disappear into the cracks, slack off, get into trouble, etc. And bigger schools are usually disinclined to bend rules or give much personal attention because there are so many students to deal with.[/quote]

Agreed. Mine had a prof reach out after a couple of missed classes and it delivered a meaningful message: I’m watching, I care and class matters. Pretty sure I said that to him first but whatever. [/quote]

That’s a nice thought, but their boss at their first job isn’t going to reach out and show them how much he cares when they start skipping work.[/quote]

Sure they do. My first boss pulled me aside and told me he noticed I’d been coming in a little late. A little humiliating but had an enormous impact on me. It’s thirty years later and I’m never late. I think of him on snow days when I’m the first (and sometimes only) one in the office. [/quote]

Being a little late is not the same as skipping. And you were lucky you were presumably not in a job where you had to clock in and out or you would have been fired after much more of that. My point was that hand-holding needs to stop at some point.[/quote]
